23 Accord Touring in radiant red with lighter interior here. IMO, at least with the Touring trim. The interior is approaching Acura territory.

[@djplonghead5403]

Every Honda I have been in has felt very solid, no matter what you touch. I love the accord but I trust Toyota’s 5th gen hybrid more. Also, when you need it, a spare tire is very useful.

[@ta-chenwang6973]

Just test drove both back to back yesterday.The Camry is quick, handles well (quite a surprise), has a spare tire, looks cool from the front, and has AC vent/USB for back seat passengers, but more engine and wind noise. And yes, it can feel cheap, especially in the back seat. The Accord on the other hand, feels more refined, but definitely also bulky and a bit too big for my taste. It is quieter, and the hybrid system works more smoothly as well. The interior definitely has more of a luxury feel with probably better build quality. However, there's no backseat AC vent or USB port or spare tire. Accord also is more expensive for comparable trim. One note about seating position: I'm 5'7" and much prefer the visibility of a Camry. I can see how things are different if you are taller, but that's just not me. The point is that it heavily depends on what's more important to you. I myself remain undecided.

[@dianewilson7415]

For the Accord, the top two trims (EX-L and Touring) have back seat AC and USB ports. I have a 2023 EX-L hybrid, and I love it.

[@phtevenmolz5030]

I have now driven both and am definitely going with the Accord. The Accord has the rear vents and USB on the two highest trims. It also has Active Noise Canceling in the cabin for the Touring trim, as well as some stuff like an awesome HUD, driver assist features that actually function well compared to the Camry’s LKAS specifically, and the entire interior is objectively nicer. There’s also the other concerns of Toyota actively and openly selling all of your driving and interactive data, even after initially denying it.

[@jeffjo8732]

I haven't tested either, so I don't know explicit details. But here are some suspicions (and yes, I am a Honda guy). I can't believe there is no _ventilation_ in the back seat of the Accord. There may be no adjustable vent, but did you look under the seats to see the ventilation ports? Maybe I need to "test drive without intent to buy." The spare tire is missing in the Accord because, in a collision, it becomes a missile aimed at the HV battery. That's why it is there in the 1.5T trims, but not the hybrids. It has nothing to do with weight or price. Honda cares more about safety, even in rare cases, than the negative press. But if you want one, it is east to add non-OEM. When trying to compare trims, I find that Honda publishes easy-to-read tables listing individual features down the left side, with check marks in the columns for the trims that include them. Or maybe a more complete description for a feature that varies by trim (like "17 inch aluminum" or "19 inch alloy" wheels). Toyota lists categories on the left, that you may have to expand individually to see what is included. For example, the "suspension" for the XLE says "Independent MacPherson strut front suspension with stabilizer bar; multi-link rear suspension with stabilizer bar, [*] and front strut tower bracing." I added the "[*]" to mark the spot where the XSE's description adds "sport-tuned shock absorbers and springs." Honda would list these four segments individually. My point here is that Toyota seems to want to make it hard to tell the differences between these feature sets - I had to mentally "pencil out" what was common between them to find the difference. And this happens a lot. And finally, the columns for Toyota's trims often have a symbol that means"available." The feature can be _added_ to the trim, with a significant _added_ price that in not included in the price you may have compared to Honda's "comparable trim." The word "available" does not appear anywhere in Honda's table - the price at the top of the column is the price for that trim, with _all_ the features implied by that trim. For example, Honda's $34,875 "SPORT-L" trim includes a moonroof. Toyota's "comparable" $34,600 XSE trim (whether you agree this is the comparable trim is not my point here) does not - I don't think any do, but I can only compare three Toyota models at a time and I'm not going to dig deeper. It is included in a "package," and the table does not include the price for that package. Going to the "build my car" page, I see that it costs $1,330 more. And while most people will buy the moonroof, the figures they advertise for headroom do not include (it is in the table). My experience, when I last shopped in 2018, was that I soon grew frustrated with the way Toyota hides the true price, so I could not compare prices easily. Going to the dealer didn't help, since I had to look at each car on the lot to see what it did, and did not, have. Their selection did not include the full array - usually including more packages than I wanted, and making the questionably "comparable" Toyota trim more expensive.

I did not like the latest Accord when it came out, but I have to say, it’s grown on me. It definitely looks more premium next to the Camry.

[@phoenixrider9341]

so, the build quality, and this is coming from someone who works at toyota building the camry, is due to the fact that we are building almost 2,000 a day so we dont get much time to put the parts on while honda might have more time to assemble a vehicle compared to the camry, plus it all depends on if you have a pre production model, those ones were not up to full standards, i own one myself and i love it and have zero issues with it, but thats also coming from a chrysler 200 that was 12 years old, but no, we dont get a lot of time to assemble the cars, they dont give us more than maybe 45 seconds to install 5 or 6 parts before we gotta move onto the next car

If it isn't broken, don't fix it. For the most part, it's really the same car. You enjoy the reliability, and you get the new 5th gen hybrid system with a much needed updated interior. I don't think it should be a knock because it's mostly the same car.

[@caaspark]

I have the XSE on May. I have zero issues. The way this review is done looks like its a honda advertisement. I had Camry SE 2020 and current generation has better build quality. The new hybrid system with the CVT is flawless. Honda's tail light is very ugly and cheap. Front grill also looked very old style, looks like car from 98-99. I know some colors of XSE's ftont gtill's bottom color is too much but pearl, black and underground colors looks perfect and way more better than honda in my opinion. No panoramic roof, no 360 camera and hybrid reliability issue put honda behind of Camry.

*Average camry owner* comments on accord review videos

[@kinw5648]

Seeing these reviews it definitely have to take it with a grain of salt as it differs from person to person. I also test drove both back to back and found the Camry to be much more comfortable and smooth. I much prefer the seating position of the Camry. Although I didn't go tugging and pulling on all the parts in either car, I prefer the dash layout of the Camry over having the screen sitting on top of the dash. Styling wise, it's definitely subjective, but I much prefer the Camry styling. I originally wanted to get the Accord before the new Camry was announced, but I didn't like how big it felt and low it sat and kinda glad I waited a bit now the Camry is out. Honestly, you can't go wrong with either car, go with what you like, not what others people say.

Most buyers in this class seek a car that balances durability, comfort, and fuel efficiency, with durability being the top priority. A 1.5-liter turbo engine cannot compare to a 2.5-liter naturally aspirated engine, which has proven reliable from the previous generation. Serious drivers, like taxi or Uber drivers, would choose the Camry, while more easy-going drivers over 40 yrs might prefer the Accord. The Camry is sure to outsell the Accord.

[@jeffjo8732]

This seems like a classic example of a conclusion drawn, and the reasons supplied when and if they support that conclusion. The 1.5L turbo is only in the lower trims; the higher ones have a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine with a hybrid system. If you look at unbiased reliability ratings like KBB and JDPower, the Accord has proven to be more reliable. Taxis choose the Camry for the sole reason that Toyota supports fleet sales, while Honda does not. Uber drivers prefer more spacious - especially in the back seat - Accord.

Excellent review. This will help keep the Toyota dealers at bay when they try to gouge people with ADM's and Dealer installed options. Their cars are not all that and more. It's interesting the different opinions and experiences people have with these two cars. I have a 2018 Camry LE Hybrid and love it. But I watched a German KZbinr review his 2019 LE Hybrid (same car) and totally pick it apart. He found things wrong with it I had no idea were even a problem, and still don't to this day at 128k miles.

[@djplonghead5403]

They are both great but have their negatives. The Accord to doesn’t have a spare. The Camry doesn’t get rear heated seats- but all models get 2 zone climate and rear vents. The Accord to has an overall larger space and more mature look. The Accord also has a quieter but less powerful power train compared to the Camry. Both systems are great but depending on what you do one might be better than the other. Toyota has more experience with hybrids. They have different interiors but both are useable and have enough physical buttons.

SUVs are not as fuel efficient as these two. And the Camry doesn't have 3800lb. And on the highway at 50+ mph the Accord gets worse fuel economy than the Camry, it actually gets worse fuel economy than the 1.5 turbo. You didn't say a thing about all the technical updates on the new camry because there are a lot. Saying the old camry is better is BS. The same with the Accord.

[@xikefocus]

Accord doesn’t have a lot of basic or high end features which is a shame. It doesn’t have spare tire, no real tire pressure read out, no 360 camera, no high adjustment for passenger front seat. Toyota at least tries to offer more features in their car. They even have 2 year free maintenance. I agree that Honda drive better, but come buying time, consumer won’t ignore those short comings from Honda. They don’t even put a seat lumbar support in the Honda Civic which people complain for years.

[@djplonghead5403]

One important fact is that the free maintenance is, for the oil changes, at 10,000 miles or once a year. No 5,000 mile change or break-in oil change.

[@mark1nyc]

Good review. The Accord is underrated. Its well built has excellent IIHS updated crash test results and is roomy. I will knock it for a passenger seat without a height adjustment and is a little sparse on the options . Styling is subjective but It gives off an Audi vibe to me. Perhaps you had a bad example of the Camry that trim should not have fell off on the other hand modern Toyotas have not impressed me with interior quality and layout and now with some power plant issues on products they seem to have taken a step back in quality /reliability .

[@fredonia81]

Please tell me why you are a fan of those 19 inch wheels? Those oversized wheels leave very little room for tire sidewall! Not very good for navigating the poorly maintained roads in North America. They make absolutely no logical sense. I have been noticing that just about all the car manufacturers are putting these ugly wagon wheels on the higher trims. This is making it very difficult for the consumer who understands this. For most sedans 17 inch wheels would be sufficient fitted with a 50 profile tire to protect your investment from road damage.

[@SamCarLegion]

[@JeffSpehar-ov1cn]

@@SamCarLegion Learn how to shift manual, lol.

[@smf15]

Agree. The same is happening with the Civic (18" on all but the LX with a 40 or 45 series sidewall). They're designed for handling, but the tradeoff is in the durability of the tire and wheel itself, along with degraded traction in snow. The Camry SE offers an 18" wheel (50 series sidewall I think??) which gives a little more sidewall.

[@Driven-t1u1r]

If you have driven both cars for years (since the early 90s) you will know that the Accord just drives and feels better in every generation. The only reason the Camry sells is because of the Toyota "reliability" and really only for people that use cars for the pure functional purpose of going from point A to point B. This generation of Accord hybrid just blows away this Camry hybrid by a long shot and you will already notice a lot more Accords on the road than the new Camry....

For the first time in my 41yrs...i prefer the Camry. Don't own either, haven't driven either. But from pure aesthetics, the toy wins IMO.

Can't believe it either. I miss the Mazda being around. I remember the new 6 releasing in like 2013, that was such a sharp car.
